Calibration : sensitivity to political news

Malaysian news often quotes politicians on what Malaysians ought to do.

Now, a politician dispensing advice is generally as useless as any ethical didact. It is of little concrete value to discuss, what is right and wrong, and who is right and wrong.

It is quite useless, for example, to discuss whether Hamas is wrong, or whether Israel is wrong.

It only matters what any of us do to intervene.

And the sorry truth is, most citizens of unconflicted regions have little more than an academic interest in geopolitics. We don't see much activism in terms of boots on the ground.
